As one who has recently discovered the pagan roots of my people, the first thing that came to mind was “Wow, I know nothing about them.”
Needless to say, this was very unnerving and can be so for many who are feeling like they are in a cultural desert. Empty, with no life to be found.
People of European descent are quite literally the spice of the earth.
Our history and culture give flavor to an otherwise bland world that prefers “sameness” under a universalistic mindset that corrupts everything it touches.
I hope to share what I discover and hope others can do the same. Only by understanding our past, applying it to the present can we have hope for our future.

Winter Makes Us Strong: For many the cold brings horrors, bitter cold, fallow fields, barren trees, and slumbering sun. Yet it is this very season that in many ways defines us. The cold does not take as much as it gives. The land is rested, the blanket of winter spreads across the land coating everything in warmth beneath her icy embrace. The windows dance with wondrous patterns, the animals rest in comfort, as we do as well. The chill in our breath parts in the sky, as we build snow men and laugh in what others fear as certain death. It is not winter we must fear, for in her cruelty is a fairness and compassion. By the fire stories are told, crafts are made, and children play. In these long nights rest is found, the spirits dance in the sky and slumber beneath the mountain. In the end from long hibernation comes the new growth of spring, we are stronger for having rested, for having bested the cold and danced atop the ice, for we are the people of the north and winter is in our veins.
